If I get a coach whining about the foul count the one thing I won't do is just acknowledge that I heard him. That just empowers and affirms him in his mind. I either ignore him completely or answer him, usually with the I don't count em, I just call em. If he's a dim enough bulb to think the foul inequity is a reflection on me, then he's too dim to hear the comment as sarcastic.
